• My memories of my childhood in Winnipeg always include Cecile and Vic! Cecile was like a grandmother to me. I never met my real Grandparents so to me Cecile and Vic were adopted by me. They were funny and always made sure myself and siblings had plenty to eat. Cecole would bake and make my favourite white custard pudding (Christmas pudding sauce) anytime of the year just for me! She always made extra and would call me into the kitchen with a big bowl hot and ready. My mouth waters for that now. She was a great confidantse, friend, mother, and like I said Grandma. I would even bring friends over after school and she too became their Grandma with her warmth and such Kindness. So many memories to speak of, I am blessed that she was there for me and in my life. I will miss her dearly but happy for her that she is now reunited with her beloved Vic (Grandpa). I know she is in God's Grace as she was a beautiful Woman - Posted by: Bernadette Klowak () on: Jan 16, 2015

• Grandma Cecile, you will be sadly missed. I'm so glad Colette brought me to see you in 2010 when last I came to Winnipeg on a military course.  May you be at peace now and live in the house of the Lord with Grandpa Vic and all those who have gone before you. You were such a special lady. Words can not tell of how you touched all our lives. To your son, my Uncle Marc and family, especially my 3 cousins, Colette, Jean Paul and Andre. My thoughts and prayers are with you. With a heavy heart I say we were blessed to know such a beautiful lady. May her memory live in all our hearts forever. God Bless and rest in eternal peace.

• Vic and Cecile were neighbors who I grew to love. Later I ended up renting their basement suite for a year. What fun we used to have, dinner parties, tea time, outings. We took them to the greenhouse and in my excitement to take care of them I left all my plants on a wagon after I paid for them. A trip back to Shelmerdines with the two of them teasing me; we were relieved to find my plants. I had a large group over for supper and after the meal I said "my teapot isn't big enough". Cecile ran upstairs and came down with the biggest teapot I had ever seen. I could only fill it halfway....it was too heavy to lift. So many times of laughter and love. Cecile loved to paint and she painted with words for us. She told us many stories of growing up, how she and Vic met and fell in love. They were a couple who were very much in love and they completed each other. Cecile had an active, curious mind and loved to discuss current events, politics, religion, she was astute and loved to question and share. Most of all what I remember is the two loving hearts who cared for me when I needed it. When I would thank them, they'd laugh, hug me and say "the road goes both ways". Yes, it did because I loved them so, but they were wonderful. Our comfort is that they are together again, safe in the arms of God. - Posted by: Jeanine and Milton Turnbull (loving friends) on: Jan 11, 2015

• Always remember her smile and cheery disposition. Wonderful cook and baker, especially her "peach" tarts. Although she was small and tiny, she was mighty and feisty and did not fail to put her two cents in. Loved having conversations with her as she was so full of knowledge! She was a loving mother to my brother in law Marc and was so proud of her grandchildren. Rest In Peace Cecile. - Posted by: Pauline Pryde (Friend/family) on: Jan 10, 2015
